British plus size fashion weekend 16th February 2013 The BIG event

Wednesday, 20 February 2013

After a restless nights sleep ( was too excited to sleep) I got to Shoreditch town hall to start to prepare for the amazing up and coming events that were in store that day.A hectic morning of setting up the market hall, by 12 I had managed to get all venders in the hall, set up for the day. If you hadn't guessed I was in charge of the market hall. I found the whole experience really inspiring. Despite problems, I had positive responses from most of the people in the room some of whom rewarded my hard work at the end of the day. I managed to network a little bit more as it seemed a lot more relaxed through out the day. The day revolved around cupcake eating, updating my spring/summer wardrobe and making amazing contacts. I had such fun with Marcy and Jen at Cult of California's stand. Two girls who I would LOVE to keep in contact with.I wasn't able to see much else of the day or the fashion show but I loved the responsibility of managing the market hall and had as much fun with everyone involved in the room.Once the day was over I was lucky enough to reflect. This event was in place to bring Plus sized women together to create a stand against all negative things thrown our way. I can't explain how lucky I am to have met who I did both days and I'm lucky to have met friends for life in the BPSFW team.Again here's some pictures:

Top - Marc Jacobs (2009)

Skirt - Anna Scholz

I personally would love for people's experiences good or bad of the day, OR what did you think of the market hall?

I understand as a team member of BPSFW clearly the event needs some tweeks and changes to become an even more successful event. I believe we can all learn from the mistakes and bring those lessons learnt in to becoming even more successful.
